What would Sue do?

TW came and got me early ish from the field. Damn it was a bit slippy through the village. I tired to hold her coat with my teeth for extra balance but apparently that's not allowed. So we walked on the pavement instead.

At the yard she noticed my pink rug was ripped. Oopsy. Never mind. I got a hay net but tbh I wasn't fussed. There's plenty of grass under the snow you know?

Out came the tack. I couldn't believe it and fidgeted about a bit. On with the tack and off we went. Hmmm TW didnt get on. It was slippy in the drive and I was confused. TW said today we are playing a game, it's called what would sue do? Shed read some stuff in a confidence book about pretending to be brave. Oh my!

If you are sue then who am I ? I pondered. I'm not hairy Mary as she is too girly. Very true said TW.

I could be storm? I love storm said TW but I think he is a bit big and strong so maybe not.

Aha I said, I must be Solly? TW turned a funny colour and said look I'm sue and you are just the Bot.

We picked our way through the village and gingerly crept down the bridlepath. Daft game I reckon so I tried to bit the back if TWs knee. Ouch!! The stick smacked me straight back in the chest. She's worse than Bracky. Not fun!

At the bench TW stood in it. Oh ok I see. I tried to get on it too but I only got one leg up before she pushed me off. It was very confusing. Round and round the bench we went , TW trying to get on and me trying to keep out of the way of the stick. Hahahaahah! TW wanted to give up but I reminded her what would sue do? So she kept trying. Roskos human messaged her and TW was about to admit defeat but I got distracted and quick as anything she was on.

My girth was loose so TW tried to do it while I made my best efforts to march home. Sue wouldn't allow that she moaned and eventually we were sorted. Turned round, past the bench, along the bridlepath . The snow was crunchy and cold but it was actually quite nice. Back we came, behind the hedge and a little walk along the edge of the field. Ten off she jumped and we slipped and slid back t the yard. TW was VERY happy and I got a lovely bowl of food . Perfect.

I've now got a new purple rug on. It's very snazzy. The be village road was evil when we went back t the field. Maybe a day off tomorrow ?
